Course Information

The format for SCORE is where you decide the order and the weighting on controls is based on location and technical difficulty.

YOU have a time limit to worry about as well :)

For 2024 we are retaining the option of 'Score Twist' which basically means that on the day there shall be the option of doing the 60 minute Score but with a condition attached be that e.g. visit all the Odds before the Evens etc. This shall be revealed on the day at Registration but the idea is to try and really challenge those who can collect all the controls in well under the 60 minutes to think a bit more and to work a bit harder.

60 minute SCORE - 25 Controls weighted 5 @ 300pts ; 5 @ 400pts ; 5 @ 500pts ; 5 @ 600pts ; 5 @ 700pts.

Penalties for being late are 10 points off your score for every second over your chosen time limit.

The format for Yellow, Orange & Light Green Courses is CROSS COUNTRY i.e. You are instructed which controls you have to visit and in a set order. The same map showing all controls is used and you can, if you wish join up the controls by adding lines between the controls.

Light Green Course - Technically challenging. Likely to be between 3k > 4k. Will use a selection of the 25 Controls listed above.

Orange Course - Technically requires the use of handrails* to navigate but allows corners to be cut. Control sites adjacent to line features. Will use a selection of the “30s”, “40s” & “50s” Control sites from above.

Yellow Course - Technically easy. Requires use of handrails as Orange but Control sites will be on the handrail itself.

* Handrails are linear features which make up the skeleton of a map - park roads, fences, walls, ditches, streams etc.
